I am sure you already know about ‘analytics’. This term has been creating a lot of buzz for the past few years.

Application of analytics is typically perceived as an aid for marketing and business decisions. Then does it have any relevance to eLearning?

What is eLearning, really? For the last ten years, I’ve developed training in some capacity. I’ve used everything from Authorware to PowerPoint to create materials. I remember a couple years ago a co-worker asked me what software program converted content to eLearning. I laughed to myself–as if it’s just a matter of clicking a button and an eLearning course magically appears.

IDENTIFY USEFUL CONTENT AND KEEP IT. Reusing instructionally sound training content where possible saves time and money, and is preferable to developing new content from scratch. As a result of a training portfolio audit , you will identify content that should be reduced or removed as well as content that should be reused for future programs. In particular, instructionally sound, informative training content developed with the help of a company’s subject matter experts is valuable enough to be c

In 70:20:10 for trainers I advocated the use of the 70:20:10 model by L&D professionals as a lens through which to view their instructional design. The excellent comments on my post, and insightful blog posts by others – notably Mark Britz , Clark Quinn and Arun Pradhan – have prompted me to think deeper about my premise. I continue to reject the notion that 70:20:10 is a formula or a goal, because it is not a model of what “should be” For example, we needn’t as

“That should be easy to change, right?” . “It costs that much to make a 15-minute course?”. “After the final review, the vice president wants us to go in a different direction.

The Power of Stories. “Once upon a time, in a faraway land, there lived a king…”. “A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away…”.

These stories have elements of mystery and intrigue associated with them, which makes them interesting.

Customization is crucial for an effective LMS strategy. A one-size-fits-all approach no longer works for diverse and dynamic organizations. Customizable LMS platforms allow tailored learning experiences that meet specific company needs, boost user engagement, and seamlessly integrate with existing systems. Customization also supports scalability, adapting as an organization evolves, ensuring long-term investment value.

It’s pretty common for prospective clients to ask software vendors for references prior to signing a contract. A 15-minute phone call with two or three organizations who have used the system extensively and sampled the vendor’s services can help mitigate the risk – and reduce the anxiety – related to acquiring a new system. If you’re evaluating new applications such as a learning management system (LMS), you may be considering asking the shortlisted vendors for references.

Not all stories for learning are successful in engaging learners. Stories that are just there to be entertaining without being relevant can waste people’s time and annoy them. It might be entertaining to add a Mission: Impossible or wild west bank robbery theme to your corporate training, but is that the best way to engage your learners? In most cases, I don’t think it’s effective to add something totally unrelated to the content itself.
